i am my own creation

i am no jackson pallock or michaelangelo... and i shoot imperfections with my camera. i cannot kick a soccer ball with my left foot, or even run 2 miles under 8 minutes. i can't hold a pencil like nicholas sparks, or carry a tune like Beyonce's. my brain's capacity is nowhere near a 7 year old living in Korea, and my body can't flow like a kid from the Bronx.

but i am my own creation. i am satisfied.
